The Haskins Threat

The fact Callahan won't commit publically to Haskins is frustrating beyond belief.

I agree with you 100%. Haskins should have been playing weeks ago. I think a lot of this slow playing of Haskins is a reaction by the organization to the perceived "rushing" of RG3 to starting QB and subsequent injuries. They want to appear like they learned their lesson from RG3 and wont make the same mistake of rushing Haskins when he may not be ready.

I don't understand it at all as well.. I hope Haskins will be able to shake off this year and start fresh with a new coach next year. I can imagine how things would look bleak for a 22 years old guy who thought he achieved a dream by playing in NFL, only to realize that your coaches have little to no faith in you.

Snyder strikes again.. At least that's something we can always count on.

Actually I think Shanahans did right by RG3 - Mike and Kyle tailored the offense to RG3's strengths. The big issue was Snyder fell in love with RG3 and then allowed RG3 to develop a big ego, big enough to believe that he can override Mike's decisions.. Meanwhile, Haskins have coaches who think Haskins still have long ways to go and will not tailor the offense to Haskins's strengths.

The only reason they don't commit to Haskins has to be this completely ridiculous belief the team is "close" and still can make a run with a more experienced QB at the helm.

The awareness by the org is amazingly poor...Snyder really needs to seek some outside help to advise him. I fucking cant believe after 20 years he has these same blind spots which appear to be getting bigger.

WTF man...look around the league, look around at the coverage of the team, look around at your half empty stadium. wake up

Agree. Had RG3 and Snyder let Shanny continue to do what he was doing with RG3 I think he'd have become the super star he looked like he could be.

IMO the coaches are being told how to handle Haskins. More meddling from above but this time instead of moving quickly they are moving too slowly.

There is an alternative option, and that's Callahan wants to keep the Jets guessing as to who is going to start in two weeks.

They'll probably prep for Haskins anyways just because.

Bill Callahan having an extra Redskins practice on Wednesday of the bye week that Jay Gruden hadn’t done in the past. “We need to work.”

Callahan wants to be clear he’s just going to take his time on the QB decision. Expects to name starter next Monday.

No decision about Redskins starting QB going forward. Callahan says he will take his time and announce it after the bye week

--------------------------------

Extra practice on the bye week? Sure, why not. Can you even have an extra practice in today's NFL? Teams are supposed to be limited to 14 total padded practices for the entire regular season, with 11 coming in the first 11 weeks. (2011 rules)

So we are doing extra stretches, walk throughs and non contact non pad practices ... cool.

is Case still in protocol? I hope Haskins is getting the lions share of reps.

So close

I kinda thought maybe the "were close" thing has been over blown by the fan base. Sure Bruce said it in his once every 5 years 12 min press conference but I didnt appreciate just how much "were close" truly seems to be a FO belief until I heard Callahans presser the other day and he just kept laying it on, they were hanging with really good teams and just have to find a way to close out.

Clearly they aren't coaching the same games we're watching.

No they are really not though...they haven't scored a TD in 3 games. Just because Callahan is purposely shorten games, doesn't mean we are close.

San Fran woulda killed us if it wasn't for rain...we got shut out there (I believe)
